Why Is It OK To Smack Your Kids But Not Your Wife?

I don't think spouses should ever hit one another. This goes both ways, since many women seem to believe that they can smack their husband and get away with it. Why? Because they are adults, their psycho emotional development no longer needs to be monitored or guided. Children are a different matter; it is the responsibility of the parents to raise them, which includes operant conditioning, which includes punishment, which can include physical punishment.
